ENGLAND S PLAYGROUND. 



With the above title the North Eastern Railway Company 

 has issued an attractive pamphlet dealing with ' Holiday 

 Attractions 'twixt Humber and Tweed,' which contains 

 illustrations of many charming collecting grounds dear to 

 the hearts of northern naturalists, one of which we are able 

 to reproduce herewith. At the end are two fine bird's eye 



Aysgarth Falls. 



views, in colours, (erroneously described as 'contour maps '), 

 on one of which the Spurn lights have slipped into Kilnsea. 



LINCOLNSHIRE NATURALISTS. 



The place of honour in the Lincolnshire Naturalists' Union 

 Transactions for 1920 is given to J. F. Musham's Presidential 

 Address on ' Some Molluscan Ways.' In this he gives many 

 anecdotes connected with his shell-collecting experiences, 

 extending over many years. There are Sectional Reports on 

 Conchology (J. F. Musham), Entomology (G. W. Mason), 

 Vertebrate Zoology [birds] (W. S. Medlicott), Botany (E. A. 

 Woodruff e -Peacock), Geology (H. Preston). There are notes 

 on ' Otters at G.rantham ' (H. Preston) ; ' Lincolnshire Lepi- 

 doptera,' by H. C. Bee; and ' Reed Warblers and Cuckoos,' 

 'The Mouse -coloured Bat,' and ' Dropped-Eggs,' all by the 

 recorder for Botany. G. W. Mason pays the usual penalty 

 for being a President, and has two pages devoted to his 

 career, (with portrait).
